playdays

[TallmanMike]

I still love the guitar riff at 0:23

[DdlyHeadshot]

It doesn't look right without being shown on a grainy CRT analogue telly, me sitting on the carpet in front of it, the sound enhanced by the acoustics of our old fireplace...

[TheeSazMataz]

loved this as a kid bt always annoyed me the bus was goin in a straight line even tho the person drivin cudnt keep the steering wheel straight!!

[BritishSnail]

Wishing all of the children across the whole world and their wonderful parents a very, very happy, peaceful and truly Christmas. Amen :-))

[avinalaughmate]

[xxxweecxxx]

@avinalaughmate Theres two versions of it and the second version doesnt have the northern where does it go :(

[reds005]

As long as it's not the 'Dot Stop', always hated that for some reason!!!

[MarkB7027]

[angelicMisha]

The patch stop can GTFO

[Phallafets]

[cosmicmistress]

@UMNERRR Or the Tent Stop

[xxxweecxxx]

@UMNERRR My fave!

[xxxweecxxx]

I always liked the why bird stop and the roundabout :D

[amandarosenix]

this brings back so many memories of when i was a kid, off school ill, laying on sofa watching it with my duvet, good times.

[domparis1978]

@amandarosenix Apart from the fact that you probably weren't ill, at all, you were bunking! :-)

[alisonmanic]

@domparis1978 not that i ever did that....noooo....*ahem*

[MegaWill1981]

This was after my time....I had PLAYSCHOOL!!!!!!!!! That is wot u call kids entertainment...lol

[jellyfishhh]

[Br3nda2607]

OMG! havent seen this in ages!! ahh the memories!!! =)

[PaperMonocles]

[gambit2004]

Lets b honest the Y-Bird stop was the most boring and the one u always wished it wouldnt land on! lol

[Nogli]

I used to like the Why Bird stop, but really didn't like the Patch stop.

[ryangriffin18]

YAY! childhood! i remember watching this like it was a day ago lol

[policeblue999]

wow. talk about nostalgia. I can't even remember this program yet it is so familiar.

[FrancesSD]

(L)

[deathsheadtequila]

Wow this intro is a million times better than any kids tv show these days

[sarahflautist92]

wow this takes me back, i had a birthday cake of this bus!!!! xxx

[18150690]

[dholes91]

[olliecox]

Love this tune, the bass line is dope!

[bexhark]

omg i miss this so much :'(

[Sprack1234]

Can't remember which one I liked best. Might have been why bird.

Never liked patch stop.

15 years since I last watched this program. Wow I feel old...

[larrypit1]

Yeah, fuck the patch stop, scary puppet people, Tent Stop was the best.....'Buh wurr dus et gooooohhh?'

[AlexCottrell]

Fuck the patch stop stupid puppet. The Tent stop was the best.

Stupid peggy Patch.

[Peasinapod5365]

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj­

[geordieboydave]

was this programe on bbc I use to watch bbc childrens tv back when i was at school all them years ago

[xxTaMeFuarxx]

the best one was the merry-go-round one.

used to be on on a wed lol

[princessabi1994]

omg! wota ledge program..this was my fave program eva! gurdd memories..lol

[nenehcherry2]

According to the News of the World in 1998, Playdays sadly had to end because of the increasing tension behind the scenes; Peggy Patch's (who underwent incredible linguistic development in 1993 after having the world's first voicebox transplant) hippy-like outlook on life didn't seem to gel at all well with Why's diva-like behaviour and Poppy's self-confidence sadly never recovered from her fall into the Liverpool heroin scene.

[tinylove1979]

Excellent! Really made me laugh!

[rachfatcat]

I liked 'Roll up and Ride on Rosie' (the merry go round thing) with that slightly odd rotund chap, was he called  Mr Jolleys or Mr. Jubblies or something?

or am I just barking up the wrong tree here LOL

[shortyzan]

Oh yeah Mr Jolly! ah good times, do you remember the dot stop? I used to pray that it wasn't the dot stop, for some reason it freaked me out!

[Ansuzie]

oh God, talk about bringing back memories. And Peggy Patch was my fave.

What about you lot?

[ShamonJuice]

NO! The freaking patch stop bummed me out. I only really enjoyed the circus stop - everything else was a major let down after all the hype of this classic intro.

[TheTradge]

OMG, NOSTALGIA!!! i used to fecking love this when i was a kid!

[robwoze]

the whybird stop was the best stop, i never did like the patch stop it just didn't do it for me back then

[Beezaar27]

omg!!!! this brings bak so many memories!!!!!

[theartfulbadger1]

shiiiiiiiit this really brought back some memories

[k3nn7]

Playground stop >> everything ever

[alanabbeygts]

"But where does it go?" Lol! In those days kids tv was good! Lmao!

[honeyangeleyes1985]

I remember this! ha

[kenthecage]

was the patch stop on thursdays? LOL this programme was sooo good. i remember wednesday was the roundabout stop and fridays was the tent stop. cant remember monday or tuesday but im sure the monday show had a talking bird whose name i cant remember haha

[18blades89]

the birds name was molly haha! i think haha!

[FRANKYJXx]

It was called WhyBird!

[18blades89]

Oh yeh it was! oops! dunno were i got molly from loool!

[halogen123]

Wow...my whole life flashed before me on hearing this tune!!! My dad used to tape this for me and at one point we had 13 or 14 tapes full of Playdays...it was absolutely amazing! Possibly the best show ever. Or so my 4-year-old mind thought. I'm sobbing inside...

[Charmanderrrr]

omg the nostalgia!

i'm actually welling up slightly lol

[GrimCerberus]

*wipes tear from her eye* my favourite was the dot stop :') but i only liked one of the "mimes"..a woman, cant remember much about her, but she had brown curly hair i think. and i always thought why bird had a kinder-egg for a beak O.o

[Inutenma]

Is this from England?

[Charmanderrrr]

yep =D

English kids tv at its finest

not like these days...

[Inutenma]

So, is kid's television programming not up to standard as it was back then? I thought it was just the States that were suffering.

[Charmanderrrr]

yep kid's tv is just rubbish these days! its all either too flashy or too boring

or like In The Night Garden - like a bad acid trip! haha

[Hoddersrevenge]

Gosh no. Fact I found recently, only 1% of kids TV shown in the UK is made in the British Isles. Msotly it's now US/Japanese/Australian imports, with the exception of Lazytown which is Icelandic but not too bad because it's European. Nowadays the kids' tv is too patronising by presuming kids are stupid. bring back the 90s stuff once and for all.

[Lazyguy22]

The home-grown stuff is the most popular(and for a good reason). Stop being so bloody-minded. Just because it was during your childhood does not mean it was good.

[naddledaddle]

omg i forgot all about this!! i now remember how brilliant i thougt it was!!

[littlekittygirly]

ooohhhhhhh my god! my mum used to video it for me when I was at playgroup and I'd watch it when I got home back in 1992-3 :) good times! *wipes tear from eye* ahh nostalgia!

[cuteasabutton87]

Wow! I love that music, makes me nostalgic :D

[xVickiex]

Aah I used to love this when I was a child!

The roundabout stop was my favourite.

[spliff573]

not heard this in years

[melane654]

i used 2 love this programme.

go playdays.

[lukeweb]

Gah, the Patch Stop meant it was time for CITV :p

[mellowNdark]

Apart from the tent stop and whybird the rest were pretty shite!!!

[InfernalNightfaery]

Ugh I hated the Patch Stop too! But wasn't there a Mime stop where this woman conveyed actions and emotion on a violin?

[flossiieflo]

I hadn't thought about Playdays in years and then when I found the video just before it started I knew the theme tune as if I had just watched it LoL

Kids programmes aren't as good as they used to be are they

[maxi937]

I forgot all about this for about 18 years, until I watched this, thanks for this.

[grapesodaa]

Love it!

[xxneliexx]

i nver used to watch it on a tuesday or thursday - thats when the kids were involved and it was pointless. i like the roundabout one - where the shapes were involved. my favourie shape was the star :)

[SUPAFRAGALISTIKXPIAL]

why bird was welsh!!! bring it on!!

[luvinlol]

I'm gonna cry :'(

[catdee15]

this is one of my fave kidz shows!!

memories!!

[will98789]

Best show ever, I loved this when I was a toddle!

[kingdomlisa]

Does anyone remember the merry go round on playdays or is it just me

[cokieblume]

nope there was a different song called roll up and ride on rosie...sounds really wrong now same characters dont know if it was the same show

[mooshFace]

i remember it! it was my favourite:)

[kingdomlisa]

Yeah i remember it to i think it came later in the program

[soup00001]

I remember ALWAYS hoping it would be the tent stop but it always ended up being the Patch Stop or the Roundabout stop...

[IRISHCHICKBABY1]

I LOVED THE TENT STOP

[4EVAORLANDO]

i swear it dint look this old when i use tae watch it

[SalientBen]

I'm not the only one who came looking for Why Bird yay :D

[handicappedhero]

That bus flashed its hazards on for no reason.

And then it was swerving all over the place.

I gotta go. Sorry.

[Nathanbarnwell]

Cmon lad pay attention... was indicating left to pull over... good mirror signal manouvere if you ask me!!

[handicappedhero]

I wasn't paying attention. :(

But the erratic driving at :17 is only excusable if the driver is going through an obstacle course or college lawn party.

[charlesbwfc]

lol where does it gurr? always wondered how they jerked the wheel but it stayed in a straight line. hmmm

[banksy8]

why is there no y bird stop?

He was deffo the best :D

[yourmiv82]

i thought Y-bird was a girl?

[toopeelooo]

What??? Why bird isn't a girl?!?!?

[yourmiv82]

noooooo, y bird is a girl with her hand stuck up a bird! i think peggy patch is fit! LMAO!

[RVDv1]

Best stop ever was the Tent stop. Used to be on a friday and they used to act out a story after rolling this wheel along the floor to decide which story they were going to do. I think it got replaced by some other stop, so if you dont know it, you missed out!!

[ILoveMyPets07]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO loved watching this i did.

"but were does it gooooo"

[copperpippin]

round-about stop!!!!

[chicreid]

i want the y-bird stop

[Bladebond84]

Oh my god.. I haven't seen playdays since I was about 5 years old.

I'm smiling like a goon, I remember that 'but where does it go' in that Geordie accent so clearly..

[CoolTvAddict]

Very nostalgic.

[french151986]

lmao - love it!!

[ginathehedgehog]

I remember this! Such memories! Do you have any episodes of the Poppy Stop? I love that stop! =D

[13LittleChickens]

thats disgusting! like we care about that :S i was just thinking of the happy memories this theme tune brings up and u say something like that lol =D

[skidaddle84]

Omg I've just done a huge poo, I mean like really massive. Wouldn't flush the first and second times. I want to share this happy moment with you all

[TRWolf]

Nostalgia Overload!! I always remember the Northern lad's "where does it gooar", and the driver driving all over the road judging by the view of the wheel!

Anyway, I preferred The Dot Stop!

[ScarySpider]

I've watched this video 6 times and its the patch stop every time.

I want the Y Bird stop :(

[yellowbellyimp]

Does anyone happen to have an episode of the ROUNDABOUT STOP that they would kindly upload on here. It would mean the world. Please. Many thanks. Best wishes. xXx

[makkasjakkas45]

dis is dah shit Yo!

[henrycrumm]

ROUNDABOUT STOP ALLLLLL THE WAY!! oooooooooh will someone upload an episode? :)

[CaziG]

YAY..."lets take a ride on rosie, coz she's a magical musical merry-go-round"

[buckslad82]

Peggy Patch and this whole stop was crap! The Poppie Stop and Tent Stop were great!

[anjmehra]

i personally prefered the roundabout stop!

[ekstc]

Any one remembet Mr.Blobby

youtube com/watch?v=NngdWbvpztk

[Nibbbling]

[rjhglover]

Same here. Jeez this takes me back.

[Showsni]

Parsnip's my favourite character...

[tag132]

[Showsni]

Parsnip was Peggy Patch's rabbit friend. (A puppet).

[tag132]

[Chilip22]

[kateycakeykate]

[kairistar]

I used to watch this everyday.. man. Memories~

[uraniumgrenade]

Mr. Jolly for Prime Minister!

[newda898]

Yay! Playdays was great, at least some of it was actually set on this planet instead of Fimble land or Teletubby land.

[luckylikethat]

Peggyyyyyyyyy!!!

[LondonLibertine]

i hate the patch stop

[Larfalot1]

PLAYDAYYYYYS!!!

Sorry, i got a bit excited. I loved this .

[hyperbolic18]

I hated the why bird with a passion and wished it would go away. why this and why that? fuck off!!The black puppet she was called lizzie i think and you could see the strings so it kind of ruined the illusion abit lol. she used to sing the same song every time "come on everybody and dance to the music.." i remember it like it was yesterday...

[spikeman14]

I loved this show..cant really remeber it tho..i just recognise that video as the intro

[slamerrr]

I wish they would bring this back for kids instead of all the loud programmes that encourage loutish behavior. Kids tv needs a makeover, and where else to start than putting Playdays, The Riddlers, Rosie and Jim and Rainbow back on!

[fluorescanthatgirl]

I totally agree!

[xemtionalregressionx]

oh how I miss those playdays days, Children's TV just really isn't the same anymore!!

[CrazyLittleBean]

Memories..

[rob9uk]

[damoo]

[lady2step]

[Ceti2]

I want my childhood back, when things were simpler.

[evilboob666]

Omg

I never thought watching this would give me goosebumps

Man... I loved this show...

I loved the one with the roundabout...

*Shivers*

Watching that made me feel really happy :)

[Omar3256]

Oh this takes me back to when I was younger... I loved it!

[Andi9386]

It's a Play Bus, but where does it go? Where does it stop? What's inside of the Lollypop? STOP! It's the Patch Stop!

I used to LOVE watching Playdays as a Child, the BBC took it off back in the mid to late 1990's and Replaced it with the Teletubbies! I used to love it on Fridays with the Tent Stop!

Monday: The Why Bird Stop!

Tuesday: The Playground Stop!

Wednesday: The Patch Stop

Thursday: The Why Bird Stop again!

Friday: The Tent Stop!

[horseandrider]

i loved playdays when i was little. its on bcc choice apparently but i dont no when...i wish it could b on normal tv i miss ti it was the best especially the patch stop where u had to follow the pegs and clues to find peggy patch!

[putdownyourguns]

WOW! playdays was one of my favorite shows when i was a kid! the roundabout stop is the best, wiv mr jolly and rosie the roundabout. i wish it would come back on tv, i miss watching it!

[poo132]

WOW! playdays was one of my favorite shows when i was a kid! the roundabout stop is the best, wiv mr jolly and rosie the roundabout. i wish it would come back on tv, i miss watching it!

[midnightmagicgirl]

I swear Poppy the cat took drugs she always looked stoned

[mamalazarou87]

Ud look stoned if you had someone's hand up your arse all day. Does anyone remember the dot stop? she scared me.

[domparis1978]

[willowalex]
